Pharmacology

Pharmacology deals with drugs and their actions in human body. It is an integral part of undergraduate medical curriculum. Knowledge about medicines enables future doctors to prescribe rationally. Our department aims to train undergraduate students of different streams in various aspects of drug use and adverse drug reaction monitoring.

Our department is having a dedicated team of well qualified faculty members. We regularly update the recent trends in Pharmacology by attending various Conferences and CMEs and impart the knowledge to the students.

We enlighten the students with basic & advanced concepts in pharmacology so that they can prescribe rationally and treat the patients ethically.
